Thousands locally remain in dark two days after windstorm

The enormous job of getting to the thousands of localized blackouts in Toronto is becoming clear more than 48 hours after Friday’s windstorm. Just in Leaside and near East York there are thousands remaining in the dark. Hydro workers are working night and day to get power back to homes. One large area of darkness centres on Fleming Crescent which was hit by both a falling tree and snapped wires all along the street. Similarly in Davisville Village, power remains out, according to the map, at Belsize Drive and Mt.Pleasant Rd., even though the utility pole that caused the outage has now been taken away.
